roizTA L AND SEPARABLE SINK-TABLE AND BATH-TUB.

Be it known that I, CHARLES B. SoI-IMITT, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and Stateof Ohio, have invented certain "new and useful Improvements in Portable and 'Separable Sink-Tables and Bath-Tubs, of which the following is a specific'ation. I p 1 a The object of my invention is to provide a convenient-and compact article of furniture for use noreiparticularly in kitchens, dwellingrooms and apartments.

In general, the nature of my invention consists of a sink above and a bath tub underneath thelatter, preferably concealed from view, except "when needed for use.

Another featureof my invention consists in making the sinkmovable from over the bath tub. 1

Another feature "of my invention consists in arranging the frame surrounding the bath tub and so connecting the sink that it shall rest upon the frame so that the sink may be drawn outfand dropped down in front of the bath tub when the latter is to be used.

Another feature of my invention consists in combinations, substantially as shown, of the bath tub and sink, and provisions where by the waste water of the sink and the overflow from the bath tub shall pass through into a common receptacle and thence out ,without interfering, provision being made I for the removal of'th e sink over the bath tub above without injuring in any way said waste water connections, and also permitting the said connections to be recombined instantly when the sink is restoredto place.

Another feature ofmy invention which is permissible as an element in these various devices isthe framework for supporting the sinkover the bath tub;

The several featuresjfof my invention and the variousadvantagesresulting from their use conjointly or otherwise will be apparent from the following description and claims.

In the'accompanying drawings making a part. of this application, and in which similar characters designate corresponding parts,Figure 1 is a perspective view of the sink with drain table, sink support, and bath tub, illustrating my invention. The lower front left hand portionof the sink support is broken away to disclose the bath tub located below the .sinkyand within the sink support. Fig. 2 is a' perspective view of Specification of Letters Patent.

Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal section on a plane passing through the sink, bath tub and the vessel which is the receptacle for the waste liquids from the sink. Only that part of the sink and bath tub which are to the right of the middle of the table in Fig. 1 are shown. Fig. 5 is a transverse section of the bath tub taken in the plane of the dotted line 5, 5, of Fig. 3, that side of the section being seen which faces toward the right in Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is a skeletonized detail view illustrating the preferred mode in which the sink and immediate Waste pipe connection can be readily removed from the receptacle below, when the sink is to be removed from over the bath tub. Fig. 7 is a plan view of a detail showing the preferred connection namely: a hinged one betweenfthe sink and the support of the sink. Fig. 8 is an elevation of the right hand portion of the parts shown in Fig. 7.

I will now proceed to describe my invention in detail.

A. indicates the sink, preferably provided with a drain table B. These parts are located in a movable top portion O. This movable top portion C is supported by a framework D. The latter incloses a bath tub E, and a waste water receptacle J. This movable top portion C is preferably connected to the framework D, and connected by devices, whereby it may be moved off the framework D so as to uncover the bath tub and leave the latter in position ready for use. The preferred devices for thus enabling the top portion to be moved off from the table are shown and are described as follows: G, G, respectively represent rods This figure is on' i each indicated by the letter H. One of these eyes H is connected to one of these rods Gr,

and the other eye H to the other of these rods G. There is preferably present a plate or washer G located in or on the top of the framework D, around the hook G This 5 plate may be secured to the framework D, and also serve to hold down the hook G It is of primary importance as a support on which the eye is upheld when the movable top portion is lowered down, and when it is 0 lifted up. This plate G prevents the eye from denting or cutting in the top of the frame D. The eye H has a shank H secured to the movable top C, preferably by being screwed thereto. The mode in which this part of my invention is operated is as follows z-The movable top port-ion being in place on the framework D, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and it is desired to remove it so as to conveniently reach the bath tub, the operator draws this movable top portion away from the back X and forward until the eyes H, H, reach their respective hooks G G The operator now allows the front end of this movable top C to descend until the latter has assumed the position shown in Fig. 2, and indicated in part by Figs. '7 and 8. T'Vhen the top is in this position, the bath tub is uncovered and can be conveniently reached and used. When it is desired 39 to replace the movable top Q upon the framework, the operator lifts the lower side of the top portion C, until the bottom of the latter is horizontal, and then pushes the top portion C back until it comes to place, as shown in Fig. 1. In these operations, the eyes H, H, slide on the rods G, G, and the work of removal and of replacement is an easy one. The eyes H, H, thus engaging the rods G, G, prevent the top from leaving 40 the frame D.

lVithin the frame or inclosure D, I locate the bath tub E. This bath tub has a discharge pipe E This bath tub is supplied with water preferably by the faucets I, 1 One (I) supplies cold water and the other (I supplies hot water. These fau cots when the movable top portion C is in position, supply the sink also with 'ater. At the rear end of this bath tub is located the receptacle J which receives the waste liquid from the sink. This receptacle J maybe a separate vessel, and be located close to the end of the bath tub E. The receptacle J may be hung by books which engage the upper end of the bath tub, or be connected to the latter in any suitable manner. lVhere the bath tub is of large size, this waste water receptacle J is preferably located, as shown, within the bath tub and at one end thereof. The bottom of this recep tacle J is provided with a discharge outlet pipe J which when the receptacle J is within the tub E will pass through this tub E. This outlet pipe J conveys the waste water away to a proper locality. The discharge pipe A of the sink A is over this waste water receptacle J, and the waste water of the sink passes down into the aperture J 4 into this receptacle, and thence out as aforesaid. The discharge pipe A is provided above with the usual strainer A. This discharge pipe A will, preferably, extend down into the receptacle J a short distance. Such extension A causes the waste water from. the sink to clear the bottom of the sink and fall without dispersion directly down into the receptacle J. here this extension A is present, and the side of the bath tub E is high, a depression E will be present in the upper edge portion of the side of the tub in order to allow the pipe to pass the said edge of the tub when the movable top portion 0 is moved off from frame D or is replaced thereon.

To improve the appearance of the receptacle J, i provide a cover J 3 for the receptacle J.

To admit the passage of the extension A of the discharge pipe A when the movable top Q is moved as aforesaid, I provide a slit J in this cover J and this slit in this cover will aline with the notch or depression E in the edge of the side of the bath tub. Tlherefore when the movable top C is moved off the frame, or back thereon, the extension A will not impinge against anything, but will be free to move without impediment or detention. This cover J is removable.

A convenient mode of arranging for carrying off the overflow from the bath tub is by connecting the overflow opening E of the bath tub E to the waste-water-receptacle by a pipe E. The overflow water of the bath tub will flush out the waste water receptacle.

The sink used in the ordinary manner. lVhen it is desired to use the bath tub, the top C and all it includes is drawn forward and dropped in front of the frame D. The bath tub will thus be uncovered, and be 119 ready for use.

During the operation flfOlQll'lQlltlOHGCl of drawing the top C forward and off of the bath tub from the frame D, the discharge pipe A of the sink and which projects below the latter is moved forward and over the bath tub, and off from the latter without impinging against the latter and without interruption.

The framework which supports the sink 130 is provided with the roller casters K, thereby rendering this framework movable away from over the bath tub.

When desired, both the top C and the frame D may be moved off and away from the bath tub, leaving the latter by itself as shown in Fig. 3. Such a separation of the bath tub from the top G. and the frame D (-onjointly is advantageous not only for allowing the bath tub to be used, but also for enabling. theign to Iub coleaned ,b'e' kept 'inwa sani r3 'ondition': Tliisf-a'daptation'ofjthe parts use, kandgatttl timefo,v V I ofs'p e'cia advantage, where rooni valuable; oriwhere' extra room for sep arate (Fat-tone place and a ebathztubat another otzbeuafiorded, "The sink table'is fheir;fcapacityfondisconnection allows sfi. ee access; to the waste pipes,thereby be cleaned. a This makes :the draii system I muchiin ore sanitary." *It to be noted} that; the same hydrant faucets e capable; f use --for both sink and bath "anablin I ,ir' w S; ,1 ,,i i is, s be noted that the waste pipe idi ansi .ei for carrying-away the waste that comes in the Slllliitlld the overflow from the bath; tub, which. is wwatei ';receptaicle J.
